This was the first film in which Scotty Beckett and Dickie Moore appeared on screen together. They had previously appeared in several movies where they played younger and older versions of the same character. (For example, in Heaven Can Wait (1943), Scotty played the hero, Henry Van Cleve, at age 9, while Dickie played him at age 14, and Don Ameche played him as an adult.) Also, Scotty had previously replaced Dickie as George 'Spanky' McFarland's sidekick in the "Our Gang" series.
